I'm in the waiting room waiting my 15 minutes because I just donated blood. Since I'm waiting around I thought I would start a thread about this.
My mother had cancer and lost her battle to it 5 years ago. When she was alive she came to the City of Hope (cancer medical center) and received treatment, it was at that time that I donated platelets and blood for her here. Thinking of her made me think of the countless others that deal with these sicknesses and are in need of blood and or platelets.
So I decided to make a regular donation here to give back for the great help my mother received when she was a patient here. Her treatments at the City of Hope gave us 10 extra years with her, which were great ones.
Since it is the giving time I thought that I would invite others to give in the same way. Sometimes all we need is just a little nudge or information and we do something that is out of our minds but when mentioned we acheive it (did that make sense).
This is a selfless way to give that costs nothing but the will to give and a little time. I personally thank all the countless people that have given of themselves for others because I have had other family members that have needed blood in times of need and it wasn't a family member that they received it from, it was an anonymous generous Blood Donor.
